Dwarf Cafe Chantant.

The Par.sans have hit on new idea
in cafes chantants, says the Paris Morn
ing News. The spectator is first intro
duced into pretty cafe, carpeted, ele-
gantly furnished and lighted with gas
dimmed by blue glass, which gives
soft and mysterious appearance to the
surroundings From this drawing
room cafe one is introduced into anoth-
er rOom--Or rather a sort of passage or
gallery perfectly dark, along which
are arranged comfortable chairs
Seated in one of these. the spectator
finds before him long ledge, into
into which are LET framed pieces of
glass, one before each person. These
pieces of glass are about foot square.
Lookingly closely one sees in the glass
the exact representation of the stage of
Il theatre, the scenery, curtains. etc.
Presently the orchestra strikes up
and the performance begins. Up
on this miniature stage appeared u
miniature performer 81 inches high
who sings and dances in the usual
cafe chantant style. The little figure,
and, indeed, the stage itself is simply
the reduced copy, thrown by some ar
engagements of lights and reflections
upon the glass we are watching) of an
actual stage and an actual performer
who is singing on the other side of the
partition. We hear with perfect dis
tinctness every word in the natural
voice of the singer. Only his figure is
reduced. Every expression, every
color, the slightest jewels-even down
to The rings upon the fingers-are re-
produced in the figures three and one
half inches in height Every facial ex-
preston may be seen as clearly as
though one we've looking upon the
real performer.
An excellent variety performance and
concert are given in this way. the sing
ers, iugglers and dancers all being i'm
miniature. There are 30 reproductions
of the stage made in the manner des-
cribed, and only 80 persons can see the
performance at one time, SO that each
has, in fact, little stage all to him
self. The management has 90 artists
altogether, including some of the best
known in Paris. Comic songs, dances,
duets from well-know operas, Juggling,
etc, are given, and if required, an en-
tire play or opera might be performed.

STIRRING THE CREAM

Is point in dairy practice that must
not be neglected ia warm weather. A
state of rest, warmth and moisture CON
stitute theperfect conditions for fermen-
tation. Cream, if allowed to remain in
the can without stirring, sets up fermen-
tation and develops a degree of acidity
that soon destroys its character for max
inc good butter. Not only this. but it
greatly lessons the butter yield if allow
ed TO remain quiet and souring. for the
acid eats up the particles of butter. In
order TO keep the cream properly stirred
and mixed it is well to make rule TO
thoroughly stir the cream whenever new
cream is added To the jar. To do this
do not use stick, which soon becomes
old, and, in a measure. tainted with
grease that has become more or less
rancid. Get new lOng-handled tin dip
per. one than reach the bottom of the
cream Jar, so that there will be plenty of
handle above the cream. Now let the
operator lift the bottom of the cream to
the top, and keep up the motion until
all the new and old cream is thorough
ly mixed. Whenever this jar is wash
cd see that the dipper gets it too Stir
ring round and round does not mix the
cream half so well as lifting the dippcr
up and down. This cream jar should,
of course. be kept in the coolest place
possible. and should Ice emptied at least
twice week. and three times would be
better. This is vital point in good
butter making. that the cream must not
get old.-American Dairyman.

GENERAL pEnER NO. Is.

MADISON, WIS, July 1l.-General Order
No. - was issued to-day from the national
headquarters Of the G.. A. r. by the com
mander-in-chief. 1t embodies a long com
munication from the committee Of arrange
ments at st. Louis to the national council Of
administration, touching upon many ru-
mois of various kinds which have been cur
rent recently regarding the encampment
The c5uncil says,
In ew of the many gross misrepresenta-
tiOns touching the action of the committee
and its relations 10 the commandments
aud council of administration, we recon-
mead that a general order he issued asSur-
ing our comrades that the work of the com
mttee and officers Of the national encamp-
ment has been in full accord. They have
been and are now working harmonlOusly
together to make the twenty first encamp-
ment one of the grandest and most enjoy
able in the history Of the order We also
consider it alike due to the q. A. r. and the
st. Louis committee that the com
mander-in- chief shall announce that
all statements that may have
been made by any one concerning tue man
ner of conducting the reception OF the en-
canapment or OF the contemplated presence
in, OF IN absence from, st Louis, of any par
ticular person or persons upon that occasion,
have not been based upon any official
action on the part of the officers OF the u.
A. r., who alone have authority to speak
for the national encampment when 1t is not
in session.
Gen. Fairchild, after quoting the above,
adds.
Neither the letter or resolution was neces-
sary to convince the commander ln-chlet
that the purpose OF the st. Louis committee
and the executive committee have from the
first been in line with his own, namely, to
make the twenty-first national encampment
pronounced success; but the many who
have been nislead by unauthorized clamor
Will be glad TO he assured officially that
nothing has occurred or is likely 10 occur to

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


And what il so rare day in JuDe2
Then, II ever, come perfect days:
Then Heaven tries the earth ifit be in tune.
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether We look, or whether we listen.
We hear life murmur, or see il glisten;
Every clOd feels stir Of might.
An instinct within il that reaches and towers,
And cropping 5lindly above il for light,
Climbs 10 a soul In grass and Il weTs:
The Eush Of life may well be
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip etartles in meadows green,
The butter cup catches the sun in it, chalicee,
And never a leaf nor "a blade too mean
To be some happy creatures pilaee;
The little bird sits at his door in the suu,
Atilt like hi, ssom among the leaves,
And les his illumined being o'erTan
W it'll the deluge of summer IL receives;
II mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast ilutieTs ano

He sings to the wild world and she to her nest =
In the nice ear OF nature which song is the bestI
Now h the high tide Of the year,
And whatever of life hath ebbed away
Comes fossing back, with riply cheer.
Into every bare inlet, and creek. and bay;
Now the heart Is 20 full that drop Overills IL.
We are happy now because God wills II;
No matter how barren the past may have been,
IT'S enough for US now that the leaves are green
We ct in the warm shade and feel right well
How the zap creepz up and the blossoms swell 4:
We may shut our eyes, but we cannot help
knowing
The skies are clear aud the grass Is growing
The breezes come whisperingin our ear
That dandelious are blosrOming near,
That maize has sprou'e ed that streams are flow

That the river il bluer than the sky,
That the robin is plaste ing his house bard by;
And IL the breeze kept ths good news back,
For other courierz we should not lack;

And bark how clear bold chanticleer-
Warmed with the new wine OF the year,
